If you are ready to shed the pain of the past and soar into a bright new future, I'd love to join your journey and help you along the way.

The days are long and lethargic. The headaches, backaches and physical pain are nothing compared to the darkness that is so oppressive. Then there are the moments where, like a wave, emotions from the past (a past you'd rather forget) wash over you unannounced. Things you thought you had hidden away or forgotten about pop up when you least expect, and least want them. Family and friends throw words around like lazy, flakey, and unpredictable; or perhaps even more official-sounding terms like bipolar, depressed, or PTSD. Right now, it feels like there won’t be an end, like there is no hope. It doesn't have to.

Life is a journey and sometimes that journey leaves people broken without the tools to know how to "fix" the issues. Are you experiencing brokenness right now? It is my job to help clients learn how to use their strengths so that clients can grow to their full potential. Counseling can also help establish healthy boundaries, heal from a traumatic circumstance, and learn self - discovery.

I provide guidance for my clients to heal from the impact of stressful or hard life circumstances by forming healthy connections with themselves and others. I chose the name of my counseling practice intentionally for this reason. Most aspen trees grow in large clonal colonies, sharing the same root system. I believe that we as humans were wired for connection like the aspen tree. Sometimes our internal or external connections can be stressed, broken, wounded, or vacant. Counseling offers us a place to create healing space so that we can find greater integration with ourselves and others.
